Well, they are packaged for the same reason that others rpms : - unified installation with others packages, - can be automated ( ie, if I have 200 computers, do I really update each of them by hand ? ) - unified interface, ie, no need to search on 3 or 4 differents websites or software - installed systemwide and updated system wide - ability to know the version, and to ensure a know good version is used - checked by packagers ( ie, it should work with the distro browser ) If "there is update on upstream" is sufficient to not package something, then we shouldn't package anything ... -- Michael Scherer
